We knew early on that the girls weren’t ‘stranded’ by accident, with a shadowy group of adults watching their every move in a surveillance area. *Warning: spoilers ahead for The Wilds season one* What happened at the end of The Wilds season one?

We didn’t get the traditional “forgive the bad person” there so we could have it here. Coming off the unique ‘Sound and Fury’ though? It just robs that episode of its power.
That’s an okay lesson for something like Power Rangers and wouldn’t be out of place in a standard episode. It seems to say that as long as someone feels bad you should forgive them. Sure, they could give Megan props for helping them but could still resist outright forgiving her.
It doesn’t ring true with just how angry they were before. Nate and Zoey do resist this at first, and Nate’s anger especially feels very real, but ultimately everyone’s friendly by the end of the episode. These are all questions that, if properly addressed, could have made abandoning the vileness of Megan’s character worthwhile. What made her turn around? What lead her to working with General Burke? We’re missing a huge piece of how this change happened. Where before she had tons of attitude and would do anything to get ahead, she’s now meek and desperate for forgiveness. We get some of that but it sadly doesn’t quite connect because Megan has functionally become a different character. What happens when someone who did something horrific to you wants forgiveness? Even if they have changed, are you obligated to show them mercy? Even if they help you do you have to make a complete 180? It could be an impressive moral dilemma, juxtaposing the resentment Nate and Zoey feel with the needs of the whole team. Megan showing back up and wanting some forgiveness could have made a great plot line.
At the time I hoped Megan would return so we could see more of that side of her… but instead we got ‘Beast King Rampage.’ For a show that bends over backward to make sure everyone has some good inside of them it was great for the show to finally run with the idea that some people are beyond redemption.
She was just a bad person and that was refreshing for Power Rangers. She was vile, mean, backstabbing, and wasn’t under the spell of a monster! She didn’t get taught a lesson by the Rangers, she was quickly ostracized and fired from Grid Battleforce for blackmailing Zoey and trying to steal Nate’s job. This POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS review contains spoilers.īack in October Power Rangers Beast Morphers aired one of its best episodes, ‘ Sound and Fury.’ In it we were introduced to Megan, a seemingly one-off human character who flew in the face of the long-standing Power Rangers trope of redeeming every bad person.
